What Impact Looks Like
Real Boys.
Real Growth.
Every cohort builds the kind of leadership young men carry into school, family, and community. We measure impact in voice, confidence, discipline, and the quiet moments where a young man begins to see himself as a leader.

My son has developed an independent reading schedule since joining Mr. Crawford's virtual summer book club. His involvement has added a level of accountability for his reading during this extended time without classroom instruction. Thank you for creating a reading community for our boys and young men.

My son is in both the reading and writing clubs. He's developed relationships with the cohorts and now has friends from across the country. He looks forward to seeing them each week.

My son is very curious about civil rights issues, and I'm grateful he gets to engage with his peers on this topic, with Mr. Crawford as a guide. He sometimes gets lethargic with his school's distance learning, but he has so much energy and excitement about book club.
